Has is it really been two years already? I have thought of you almost every day. Your memory will live eternal in our hearts. Bless your spirit and your family. Rest in peace.

I just recently learned of Gus's passing. My daughter, Nicole, moved from a small town in Minnesota to San Francisco without knowing a single person. Her first job was at the Noriega Market. She always talked about how much she enjoyed working there and how nice Gus and his family were to her. Gus was so kind and caring to her. He made sure she was taken care of and watched over her since her family lived so far away. II remember one time visiting my daughter with my parents. Gus got us...

Gus was an amazing person. I talked to him a few times at noriega and he seemed like such an honest and genuine human being. Although I didn't know him well I could easily tell that he was an amazing person.

it's difficult to find words that convey the loss of Gus passing. Too soon. A big hole in the hearts of all who crossed paths with you, Gus. A young life snuffed out for no reason. Hard to make sense of it. Rest assured you will forever be in our thoughts and I'm sending love and strength to the family.

Deepest Condolences to your family for this great loss. You will be remembered. Rest in Peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

When we moved to the Haight in 2011 with a 2 year old and a newborn, the Haight St Market enabled our new family to survive. We were often there 3 times a day and we got to know Gus and Georgia. Their warmth and friendliness made our transition from NYC to San Francisco bearable. Thank you for all your have done for us and our community. Gus, you will be in our hearts forever.
